What is Keratoconus? Causes and Treatment options : Explained

Описание: In this video, Dr. Radhika Torgal, LASIK, Cornea, Refractive Surgeon at Shekar Eye Hospital, Bangalore, speaks about Keratoconus.

Keratoconus is a progressive disease of the eye characterised by a thinning of the cornea. It's caused by multiple factors, one of them is frequent allergies like conjunctivitis, eczema, hay fever etc..
Not everyone gets this due to eye rubbing; it is inherited in nature too.

The main function of your cornea is to refract light into your pupil. Therefore, light passing through your asymmetrical cornea can lead to distortion and blurriness in your vision.
